The built-in kernel commandline (CONFIG_CMDLINE) can be configured in
three different ways:

  1. CMDLINE_FORCE: Use CONFIG_CMDLINE instead of any bootloader args
  2. CMDLINE_EXTEND: Append the bootloader args to CONFIG_CMDLINE
  3. CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER: Only use CONFIG_CMDLINE if there aren't
     any bootloader args.

The early cmdline parsing to detect idreg overrides gets (2) and (3)
slightly wrong: in the case of (2) the bootloader args are parsed first
and in the case of (3) the CMDLINE is always parsed.

Fix these issues by moving the bootargs parsing out into a helper
function and following the same logic as that used by the EFI stub.

The logic hurts, but I think I grok it now. The last term is actually
a reduction of

	(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER) && !prop)

and we know for sure that if none of the other two terms are true,
then CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER *must* be enabled.

 /* Keep checkers quiet */
I don't think we need to backport anything to stable for the nokaslr
handling, do we?

Otherwise,
